DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

PRO-LIFERS AT PRAYER

Saturday, July 7, 2007 – Planned Parenthood, El Cajon

"As we were praying, a very large bird that looked like some sort of eagle or vulture flew across Main Street and on to the top of a telephone pole directly across the street from us. The bird had caught some kind of prey, perhaps a small rodent, and stood on the top of the telephone pole eating it."

Approximately seven prayer warriors came out to pray and minister in front of the El Cajon Planned Parenthood clinic on Saturday, July 7. They prayed all 20 mysteries of the Rosary, the Divine Mercy chaplet, and sang hymns.

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
